Chapter 525: Charlotte's Gift

"Barcelona played against Inter Milan, Barcelona once again suffered their own bitter master, of course, this bitter master is not Inter Milan, but Inter Milan's current manager Dick...... Dick is arguably the best manager in the world since the beginning of the 21st century, and his development is a miracle, which also has much to do with Barcelona...... When Dick debuted, he once recommended himself to go to Barcelona as the coach of the youth team, and it is said that his training plan and team building ideas at that time were approved by Cruyff, but in a training session, he exposed the shortcomings of not being able to train at all, so he was rejected by Barcelona...... After that, Dick went to Real Madrid, but was also turned away, and it was not until he was spotted by Atletico Madrid's president Hill Sr. that he began his coaching career. [Full text reading. And Dick's luck was also quite good, Atletico Madrid's results that season were worse than bad, as the third firefighting coach, Dick began his magical coaching career...... And after he was able to lead the team alone, he also began his own attack on Barcelona...... The bet with World Sports reporter Rodriguez is just a microcosm, he has never hidden his dislike of Barcelona in various public occasions, and the team he leads will perform exceptionally well every time they meet Barcelona! This situation did not improve until Dick left La Liga, because with the decline of Barcelona's results during that time, they did not meet Dick's team in Europe, and until now, when Barcelona began to revivenation, they met Dick, who also led Inter Milan to revival! ”

"This match has attracted the attention of nearly 100 countries and regions, and everyone is watching this game in the hope of seeing a classic attack. With Dick's characteristics, he rarely led the team to play conservative situations, let alone in the final, he led the team to set a record for the most goals scored in a European final, and at the same time, he never had a 0-0 situation in the European final he coached. A clash between two teams like this is sure to be a wonderful confrontation! ”

After the two sides arrived in Paris, the major sports media began to build momentum for this game - this game is indeed worth building, on the one hand is the hottest team in Europe this season, on the other hand is the representative of gorgeous offensive football, these two teams collide, not to mention anything else, it seems that the goals are more guaranteed - now UEFA can be described as hating and loving Dick, hating this guy almost robbing the championship, the European competition has become the Dick Cup, and the love is that the team he led plays the final of the European competition, Basically, he can play very good-looking and have a lot of gimmicks to hype, last year's League Cup he played the League Cup final into a big news, so that this season's League Cup has received a lot of attention, so that UEFA came up with the idea of restructuring the League Cup, so that the League Cup will receive more attention and attraction......

Before such a match, the managers of both sides will naturally be interviewed, even if they refuse to be interviewed, but UEFA stipulates that before the game, both sides must attend at least one press conference in the final.

"The feud between Dick and Barcelona? Sorry, this has nothing to do with me, because that was a long time ago. No matter what happens in the final, Barcelona will only play their own football. ”

Rijkaard avoided talking about this question at the press conference, which was also a very wise choice, after all, there was no need to answer this question for him, he had no enmity with Dick, and Dick had not come to Barcelona when he had a feud with Barcelona.

Barcelona's leading striker Samuel Eto'o said he must score in the final, and Ronaldo said he was interested in seeing how Inter Milan's defense was doing.

"Barcelona? Our opponents in the finals...... What happened seven years ago? You said it was seven years ago, and seven years is enough time for a loving couple to have problems with each other, and I don't think I'm going to dwell on what happened seven years ago now, because I don't need it anymore. I still said that, I was not accepted at the time, it was a loss for Barcelona, not mine. Dick replied at the press conference, but most people have no doubt about his last sentence, from a practical point of view, Dick has won six league titles, four European championships, and is about to move towards the fifth European trophy, and what about Barcelona? If it weren't for last season's revival, their previous five years of honor were a blank, and many people were thinking, if Dick had stayed at Barcelona for a few years, Barcelona might not have that five-year gap, if Dick took over Barcelona after Van Gaal, with his ability to turn stones into gold, would players like Saviola and Riquelme still fail in Barcelona?

Of course, this can only be an assumption, and nothing will change what has happened.

At this time, Cruyff, who has been behind the scenes, was also dug up by reporters, in fact, after Dick's success at Atletico Madrid, there were several people who wanted to interview Cruyff - the rhythm of slapping in the face is what everyone likes to see, whether Chinese or foreigners - but Cruyff has been living in seclusion since he was not the head coach of Barcelona, and occasionally being bumped into is also laughing and prevaricating, but this time, he can't escape, after all, this is after Dick left La Liga, The first time I led the team to meet Barcelona was in such an important final!

Everyone thinks that such a meeting is too exciting, if Dick is still led by Dortmund, and Barcelona meet I am afraid there is no comparison, since Dick left Dortmund, although Dortmund has always been ranked in the upper middle of the Bundesliga, but the economic problems still have a huge impact on them, the former Bundesliga three consecutive champions can now only work hard for the qualification of the League Cup, and the decline of Barcelona in the past few years also made everyone have no hope for them, and now it is different! Inter Milan has won two consecutive championships in the league after Dick's tutelage, and the European arena has also shown a stronger momentum than the era of Inter Milan, you must know that although Inter Milan won the Champions Cup twice during that period, but it is relatively ugly in the process, Dick's Inter Milan has not been able to win the championship of the Champions Cup at this time, but they are better than that Inter Milan team!

Now one is looking forward to what Cruyff will think of this game......

"Dick was a good coach and I didn't want him at the time just because he didn't use Barcelona. He's not going to play any role in the academy, he's ambitious to play as a first-team manager, and we already had Louis van Gaal at the time, so I don't think what I did was wrong...... I wish him all the best in his coaching. This game? Barcelona will win because the fans of Barcelona want us to win, and for a great club like Barcelona, a Champions Cup is too little. ”

Cruyff accepted the interview very calmly, and he emphasized that the disacceptance of Dick at that time was not because he was blind but because Barcelona was not suitable for Dick, but most people scoffed at this statement - if you Cruyff knew that Dick's ability to coach the team was so good, I am afraid that he would not let him leave easily, such a top coach, if he can't use it, he has to rot in his own hands......

"For a club as great as Inter Milan, two Champions League titles are too few and I have come with such a great responsibility."

Dick also gave a final response, which was also the last thing he said publicly before the start of the match, after which he began his final preparations.

Time passed day by day, and the day of May 18 began to arrive as scheduled!

Several fans flocked to the Stade de France, UEFA provided 25,000 tickets for fans on both sides, but these tickets completely satisfied the enthusiasm of fans on both sides, the last time Inter Milan entered the Champions Cup was 67 years, nearly 40 years of waiting for such an opportunity, and Barcelona only won the Champions Cup once in history, and the last time it entered the Champions Cup final has passed more than ten years now, such an expectation, only 25,000 tickets are simply enough to satisfy all fans!

It's just that UEFA has no surplus food, and the remaining 30,000 tickets have to take care of neutral fans, local fans and some UEFA's related households......

When the fans of both sides march towards the stadium, it is inevitable to meet on the street, in this case it is indispensable to scold each other, but there is no violence, although the Italian fans are sometimes very fucked, but they are not used to using their fists to solve the problem before the game starts, they mostly vent when the team's results are not good, while the Spanish fans are more gentle, plus the French side of this game is also very important, Paris itself is the capital of France, the police are enough, A large number of police forces have been transferred from other cities, and safety is still guaranteed.

Dick and his team set off three hours early, and when they arrived at the pitch, everything was normal during the warm-up, with fans from both sides occupying the stands on both sides and neutral fans behind the goal.

After completing the warm-up, the players on both sides returned to the wardrobe for the final mobilization, in fact, whether it is Dick or Rijkaard, there is no need to talk too much, the Champions Cup final is the biggest incentive in itself!

"Let's go, let everyone see the strongest attack in all of Europe!" Dick said.

"Let's go, let them see that Barcelona's attack is the most gorgeous!" Rijkaard said.

Players from both sides come out and spread out, ready for the start of the game.

Dick returned to his position and waited for the game to begin.

At this time, there was a sudden sensation in the stands, there were cheers from Inter Milan fans, there were exclamations from Barcelona fans, Dick was also alarmed, when he looked at the stands, he found that in the nearby stands near the stands occupied by Inter Milan fans, the fans who were originally dressed in ordinary clothes wore Inter Milan jerseys like magic, and the number of stands occupied by blue and black instantly changed from one-third to half!

Dick was stunned for a moment, then he laughed - it turned out that this was Charlotte's gift to him!
